9911348 rabuffetti美洲国家间全球变化研究所（IAI）是由美洲国家代表于1992年5月13日在蒙得维的亚签订的《建立美洲国家间全球变化研究所协议》（“IAI协议”）所创建的。IAI协定创建了一个政府间组织，目的是协调和促进与全球变化有关的科学研究。该研究所有一个不断发展的“科学议程”，确定了特定的研究领域。IAI的正式成员资格仅限于国家，尽管IAI协议也规定非国家实体可以成为“协会的准会员”。研究所由每年一次的缔约方会议和一个附属的执行理事会管理。美国政府目前是欧共体的成员。研究所有一个常设秘书处，即“理事会”。IAI管理机构的程序和做法在详细的议事规则中加以阐述。因此，原子能机构具有一个国际组织的基本体制特征：它是根据国际协定设立的，由各国组成，并由由各国代表组成的理事机构管理。美国政府积极参与IAI。美国在IAI的创建中发挥了主导作用，并且自创建以来一直是IAI的积极参与者。美国政府高级官员在执行委员会任职，并担任与IAI活动有关的其他负责职务。此外，IAI已被美国国务院和人事管理办公室列为《联邦雇员国际组织服务法》所指的国际组织，受《美国法典》第5编第3343条和《美国法典》第5编第3581条的保护。提交本提案的核心预算支助使原子能机构理事会得以运作。目前，国际空间研究所理事会由巴西在圣保罗州圣若泽多斯坎波斯的巴西国家空间研究所（空间研究所）校园内担任东道国，国际空间研究所理事会作为国际公认的法人行使职能，享有巴西政府给予的相应特权和豁免。IAI接受《建立IAI协定》其他缔约方的核心预算捐款：阿根廷、巴西、加拿大、智利、哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、古巴、多米尼加共和国、厄瓜多尔、危地马拉、牙买加、墨西哥、巴拿马、巴拉圭、秘鲁、乌拉圭和委内瑞拉。数额由IAI协定缔约方大会年度会议协商一致确定。美洲国家间全球变化研究所（IAI）是由美洲国家代表于1992年5月13日在蒙得维的亚达成的一项国际协议，即《建立美洲国家间全球变化研究所协议》（“IAI协议”）创建的。IAI协定创建了一个政府间组织，目的是协调和促进与全球变化有关的科学研究。该研究所有一个不断发展的“科学议程”，确定了特定的研究领域。IAI的正式成员资格仅限于国家，尽管IAI协议也规定非国家实体可以成为“协会的准会员”。研究所由每年一次的缔约方会议和一个附属的执行理事会管理。美国政府目前是欧共体的成员。研究所有一个常设秘书处，即“理事会”。IAI管理机构的程序和做法在详细的议事规则中加以阐述。因此，原子能机构具有一个国际组织的基本体制特征：它是根据国际协定设立的，由各国组成，并由由各国代表组成的理事机构管理。美国政府积极参与IAI。美国在IAI的创建中发挥了主导作用，并且自创建以来一直是IAI的积极参与者。美国政府高级官员在执行委员会任职，并担任与IAI活动有关的其他负责职务。此外，IAI已被美国国务院和人事管理办公室列为《联邦雇员国际组织服务法》所指的国际组织，受《美国法典》第5编第3343条和《美国法典》第5编第3581条的保护。提交本提案的核心预算支助使原子能机构理事会得以运作。目前，国际空间研究所理事会由巴西在圣保罗州圣若泽多斯坎波斯的巴西国家空间研究所（空间研究所）校园内担任东道国，国际空间研究所理事会作为国际公认的法人行使职能，享有巴西政府给予的相应特权和豁免。IAI接受《建立IAI协定》其他缔约方的核心预算捐款：阿根廷、巴西、加拿大、智利、哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、古巴、多米尼加共和国、厄瓜多尔、危地马拉、牙买加、墨西哥、巴拿马、巴拉圭、秘鲁、乌拉圭和委内瑞拉。数额由IAI协定缔约方大会年度会议协商一致确定。IAI是美国的一项倡议，旨在促进美洲科学机构在全球变化问题上的合作研究。美国国家科学基金会是由白宫指定的在IAI中履行美国职责的主要美国政府机构

9911348RabuffettiThe Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) was created by an international agreement concluded among representatives of American States, namely the Agreement Establishing the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research, done at Montevideo on May 13, 1992 ("the IAI Agreement"). The IAI Agreement created an intergovernmental organization for the purposes of coordinating and promoting scientific research related to global change. The Institute has an evolving "Scientific Agenda" identifying particular areas for research. Full membership in the IAI is limited to States, although the IAI Agreement also provides for non-State entities to become "Associates of the Institute."The Institute is governed by an annual Conference of the Parties, and by a subsidiary Executive Council (EC). The US Government currently serves on the EC. The Institute has a permanent secretariat, the "Directorate." The procedures and practices of the IAI's governing institutions are elaborated in detailed rules of procedure. The IAI thus possesses the fundamental institutional characteristics of an international organization: it was created by international agreement, is composed of States and is governed by governing bodies composed of representatives of States.The US Government participates actively in the IAI. The United States played a leading role in the creation of the IAI and has been an active participant in the IAI since its creation. Senior US Government officials serve on the Executive Council and hold other responsible positions related to IAI activities. Furthermore, the IAI has been listed by the State Department and by the Office of Personnel Management as an international organization within the meaning of the Federal Employees International Organization Service Act, covered by 5 U.S.C. 3343 and 5 U.S.C. 3581.Core Budget support, for which this proposal is submitted, allows the operation of the Directorate of the IAI. Currently, the IAI Directorate is hosted by Brazil in Sao Jose dos Campos, Sao Paulo state, on the campus of the Brazilian National Space Research Institute (INPE), where the IAI Directorate functions as an internationally recognized juridical personality, with the corresponding privileges and immunities granted by the Government of Brazil.The IAI receives Core Budget contributions from the other Parties to the Agreement Establishing the IAI: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Amounts are arrived at by consensus at an annual meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the IAI Agreement.%%%The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) was created by an international agreement concluded among representatives of American States, namely the Agreement Establishing the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research, done at Montevideo on May 13, 1992 ("the IAI Agreement").
